Today, we are officially introducing a proof-of-work (PoW) defense for onion services designed to prioritize verified network traffic as a deterrent against denial of service (DoS) attacks with the release of Tor 0.4.8.
As part of a new grant we've expanded our user feedback program to Brazil, Ecuador and Mexico in partnership with the Guardian Project and Tails.
We have conducted an assessment of our strategy to make Tor services more broadly available in the Global South to better understand our progress and potential for improvement.
Providing necessary tools for those who need it the most is one of our top priorities. That's why we've added WhatsApp User Support.
We invite you to give your feedback in a new user survey.
Today, we are officially launching our Community portal. This is part of our continuous effort to better organize all of our different content into portals. The Community portal contains six sections: Training, Outreach, Onion Services, Localization, User Research, and Relay Operations. It's about time that the Tor Project has a dedicated place to help you to help Tor!
Through partnership with our community and our community’s broader connections, we turned limited resources into a safe space to cultivate connections, collaboration, and progress toward the vision and values that we are all working towards at Tor.
Most importantly with our new website, we want Tor Browser to be easy to download and its benefits easy to understand.
To improve user experience, most of the tech industry relies on analyzing their users’ behavioral data to drive decision making. Tor does things differently.
This month during the geek CryptoRave in São Paulo, we invited Tails and Tor users to join a user needs session. Identifying common problems enables us to turn them into opportunities for improvement and actionable items.
